At San Diego Detox, healing starts with detox and continues with the stability of residential care. Each program is tailored to meet the needs of discerning individuals who want to reclaim their lives with dignity. Clients receive evidence-based treatment in an environment designed for calm and privacy.

Let Understand Be the Start of Healing

San Diego Detox takes a refreshingly human approach to recovery built on genuine understanding. Every treatment plan begins with listening to who each client is, what they’ve been through, and what they need to heal fully. Using a blend of evidence-based therapies, medical support, and holistic practices, they uncover and treat the root causes of addiction. The result is deeply personal care in a private, luxurious environment.

Wake up to Sunshine and a Fresh Start

Set on a peaceful Southern California campus, San Diego Detox feels like a retreat. Clients settle into private suites designed for comfort, surrounded by spaces that nurture the body and mind. Days might include a workout in the fitness center, a movie night in the cozy theater, or moments outside under the California sun. Even mealtimes feel special, shared with others on a healing journey.

Embrace the Next Chapter with Guidance

As a client’s stay draws to a close, San Diego Detox carefully weaves together a personalized aftercare plan. This plan might include outpatient therapy sessions, peer support groups, and medical check-ups to keep recovery on track. With this support in place, clients gradually step back into their communities.

Testimonial
I spent 30 days at San Diego Detox and my care was the best that I've experienced. The staff was ultra professional and so, so helpful. The care and services I received there greatly helped me to transition to a 3 month program mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually healthy.

In equine therapy sessions, clients spend time with gentle horses through activities like brushing, leading, and caring for them. Horses are incredibly intuitive—they naturally sense emotions and respond with honesty and understanding. With guidance from trained therapists, clients learn about trust, patience, and how to stay calm and present in the moment.
Help People Feel Human Again with MAT
Help People Feel Human Again with MAT
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) combines science with compassion, using safe medications to ease the tough parts of withdrawal and quiet the cravings.

Clients aren’t left to tough it out alone; they’re surrounded by a team that understands how to help their bodies find calm.
Turn Family Pain into Powerful Healing
